Rose was very thoughtful, she came to drive and look for me when my car broke down and made the most lively breakfast for me. Such a delight to stay with you rose. From Caitlin

Caity EOctober 2016

Rose is a very warm and friendly host. Great rooms and breakfast. Had nice chats with her. Place to recommend!

EgonJuly 2016

Rose's B&B looks out on beautiful countryside, and is very peaceful and comfortable. Rose is a friendly and generous host - she accepted me at very short notice and set me up each morning with a wonderful breakfast. I enjoyed our chats, learnt lots about the area and felt very much at home during my short break in Highfield House. A big thank you!

LeonieSeptember 2016

Rose was very welcoming and nice to chat with. The room was one of the best rooms I stayed in on my road trip through Ireland. There were a lot of breakfast options and the view from the kitchen / breakfast room was amazing. I highly recommend Rose's B&B.

Christophe July 2016

Dear Rose, we've enjoyed the wonderful time at your B&B! We felt very welcome and also our kids were very happy at your lovely house. The full irish breakfast was fantastic. The location and the view are very beautiful. If we return to ireland we would love to come back!

Lovely, spacious and clean house! Was perfect location for our touring around West Cork. Sharon was very welcoming and was nearby if we needed anything! Overall a great stay in Ardgroom! Thanks!

YvonneAugust 2016

We absolutely loved our stay in Ardgroom! Xavier's partner Sharon met us when we arrived and explained everything to us. She also checked in with us once or twice during the week to make sure everything was ok. The house was fab - it had everything we needed and Sharon had made sure there was a cot, a high chair and a stair gate for our little one. She was so helpful and made the whole experience so easy. The house was very well equipped, very clean and so comfortable. Ardgroom itself is a cute little village with a pub (which does great food), a post office, a petrol station, a shop and a cafe. We spent each day out and about - there's so much to do. We went to the beach down at Allihies, spent a day in Killarney, and went out to Garnish Island from Glengarriff. It's a gorgeous part of the country with plenty to offer, and the people around Ardgroom and beyond are so friendly and welcoming. If Xavier and Sharon will have us we'll definitely be back!

AoifeJuly 2016

We stayed at Ardgroom house for two nights during our three weeks travel around Ireland. We were very well received by Sharon who showed us this lovely and fully equipped house. We enjoyed the large rooms and the absolutely comfortable beds. Definitely a quiet and clean place. We loved the position in Beara some km from the stunning Healy pass.

StellaAugust 2016

We had a very enjoyable week in Ardgroom and the local surroundings, using this homely house as our base. Xavier was very flexible on a late date change, and we were welcomed by the lovely Sharon on arrival. The house was clean, well presented and homely. Ardgroom is small and cosy, and a good base for travelling up and down the Beara peninsula.

TimAugust 2016

Great house - safe location for children - plenty of space to play outside. Very convenient to the village - a two minute walk to the shop.

CiaranAugust 2016

We were warmly welcomed to Xavier's home by Sharon. It was everything portrayed and more. We were literally in our own home with all the items we needed after leaving our home in Wisconsin. It was a most enjoyable month. I would highly recommend this to anyone. We left friends in Ardgroom. They were more than hosts. Thank you, Sharon and Xavier, for everything, and we hope to see you in the future. Mike and Colleen Sullivan

MichaelNovember 2016

Friendly and bubbly Sharon made us feel very welcome to the great house in Ardgroom, a lovely quiet place with colourful houses, a shop and a pub. Sharon only lives across the green so that's very handy if there's anything at all. The house is very spacious, comfortable and clean. The decor makes it very homely. There's a nice picnic table in the garden you can enjoy in the sunshine. Also important to mention is that everything you might need during your stay is there, from handsoap in the bathrooms to a coffee bean grinder, plus tons of kitchen utensils, tea towels and herbs and spices. Great is the big fridge / freezer for all your groceries. And not to forget, there are three bathrooms. There's enough of everything for a whole army. We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this lovely spotless house as a base to tour the beautiful Beara! Go raibh mile maith agat Sharon agus Xavier!

StephenJune 2016

The house is very clean and spaceous, three bedrooms upstairs with comfortable beds and huge living room with kitchen downstairs. We absolutely loved this quiet place in the middle of Beara ring, it was really nice to have an opprtunity to walk to the coast or to the lake (2 km from the house). Sharon was helpful and attentive, was nice to know that she lives next door, so we could reach her easily. Local shop is not very big, so if you want something special remember to buy some food on your way to the house in Kenmara or Castletown-Bearhaven. Very good place for families with kids or for getaway weekend.

Bothar Bui is nestled on a secluded hillside overlooking Kenmare Bay on the Beara peninsula in the heart of Ireland’s scenic South West.
Designed by renowned Irish architect Robin Walker, this unique modernist assemblage of historic farm buildings and contemporary structures works as a rare family holiday retreat. The house makes the best use of its quiet location, surrounded by 12 acres of indigenous oak woodland leading down to a small harbor with private shoreline

Our house is utterly unique! It is designed as a getaway sanctuary. Because of the house being divided into separate buildings, you can stay with your friends and family but have plenty of space for yourselves and if it's just a single or a couple, the kitchen is cosy and welcoming, beautiful site, woods mountains and seaside.
The house is only rented as a whole as there is one kitchen and two bathrooms.
Sleeping accommodation:
There are two rooms in the upper bedroom house; one with two single beds and the other with one double bed; there is one bathroom between them. There are two rooms in the lower bedroom house with a double bed and a single bed in each room and a bathroom between them. There is another little out house with a double bed and in the "studio"/ big living room, there are two sofas which are also single beds and one sofa which is also a double bed. In this room is a large wood-burning stove.
The kitchen/dining-room/living-room is the original old farmhouse with an open fireplace. There is oil-fired central heating everywhere.
Guests have access to the 12 acres of woodland that is the property and a private shoreline below, a little stony beach which is a safe place for children to play.
Bothar Bui also has it's own website to browse for further details and watch a film.
We meet the guests on arrival and after that if they wish to arrange boat trips with my husband Kieran or if they would like him to bring them fresh seafood, he fishes shrimp and has a mussel farm. Guests usually meet me when they visit my gallery in Castletownbere, Sarah Walker Gallery which is situated on the waterfront in an old stone boat house.

The Beara peninsula is without doubt one of the most stunning scenic areas of Ireland, most people come here to immerse themselves in the scenery, hiking, swimming, fishing etc but also there is great fun to be had in the local towns and villages. The brightly coloured villages of Eyeries and Allhies nearby, and Castletownbere hold festivals in the summer. There's a nice beach in Allihies and an exciting cable car ride to Dursey Island, a visit there feels like going back in time. For golf players there's a sea side golf course in Castletownbere. A stay in Bothar Bui wouldn't be complete without a visit to McCarthy's bar in Castletownbere, great crab sandwiches and a trip to Helen's bar, Kilmakillogue pier, for a dish of delicious mussels and homemade brown bread.
There is a public and a private bus service to Castletownbere and a private bus service to Ardgroom, a car is recommended while staying in Bothar Bui.
Children are half price (€10 per child) under extra guests after 4 people.
There are a lot of steps around the house which get slippy in wet weather so it's not ideal for anyone unsteady on their feet.
The access to the house is via a steep driveway, there is parking for four cars.
The original old farm house and out buildings date from the 1700s, the house was re-built in the early 1970s so it is rustic not shiny and new. It was really designed as a summer house and so with the central heating on in cold weather when it is warm and cosy inside there are sometimes condensation drips in the contemporary buildings but not on the beds! We are constantly repairing and working on the house to maintain it.
The roads in Beara are narrow and it takes a while to travel places that might look closer on the map, it is not an ideal place to stay for trips to Killarney or Blarney etc. it is a long drive away from typical tourist spots. Most of our guests see that as a bonus and enjoy the beauty of Beara and the property itself.

We had an amazing stay at the seafront house. You are surrounded by the most beautiful views and a private woodland which we had a wander around a few times. After our walks we would enjoy a bath which also looked over the mountains. There is so much choice of rooms which is a bonus, you never get bored. The little cottage which has a kitchen in it is a nice place to hang out and have our meals and a glass of wine. We also asked could we get mussels off Sarah's husband for dinner which were delicious and fresh. We also got them very cheap. when we wanted to have a little dance around or play some music we headed up to the main modern cottage. This room is huge and there is a big comfy couch that the four of us cosied up on, and chilled out! There is little stone walkways leading from each building to the next which gives it a fairytale-like touch. The bedrooms were warm and cosy and we all had incredible sleeps. Thanks for a lovely stay, we will definitely be back!

ZenFebruary 2015

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The location is very remote, but you'd be hard pushed to find a more private and quiet location.

ColmFebruary 2016

What a remarkably special place. It was a joy to spend time at Bóthar Buí - even on a grey stormy weekend it was still exceptionally beautiful and very cosy, so I can only imagine what it's like at other times. Thanks, Sarah for being so helpful and accommodating. We can't wait to return.

FionaDecember 2015

Bothar Buí was an ideal setting for our family holiday. We were five adult couples and a toddler coming from four countries. The six buildings allowed each couple privacy while also providing ample communal space. Bothar Buí is peaceful and secluded, but also the perfect base for exploring the Beara peninsula. Though hard to believe, the property is even more spectacular than Sarah's photos suggest. The place is visually stimulating inside and out, with views across Kenmare Bay that continually change. Sarah was a great host--welcoming, accommodating, and informative. We feel privileged to have visited this special place.

Kristen & TomJuly 2014

Had a lovely stay the place was amazing and very peaceful, great for relaxing and loads of lovely scenery. Would recommend it :-)

OliviaOctober 2014

We had an absolutely fantastic weekend in this amazing Seafront house in West Cork. It had been a very long time since I can remember enjoying playing board games around a fire in such a cozy living room. The view was breathtaking and the house was clean and ideal for us, as we were a group of 3 couples and it offers plenty of privacy. We LOVED the electric duvet and the sunk in baths with view over the bay, and made good use of the barbecue! Sarah is very friendly and we appreciated clear indications to get there, plenty of suggestions to make the most out of the local area, and a warm house when we arrived after a long trip at 1am! We will definitely be heading back very soon!

CelineFebruary 2014

An absolute unique spot in the irish wilderness. Hard to describe but pretty much anything you hope for watching the images and some more. Sarah was the perfect host giving us all the information we needed! We really love to come back as soon as possible and we´ll sure recommend this to everyone we know! The calmness and beauty of Bothar Bui is breathtaking!

RobinJune 2014

Thank you Sarah for sharing your beautiful home with us! We had an absolutely magical long weekend... Waking up to dreamy views, stunning drives discovering the wild countryside and cards and wine by the fire at night. We will be back! Thank you.

Self-catering 1970s bungalow, overlooking Coulagh Bay, which sleeps 5-7 people. Ideal for family on a budget or a group of friends. Great base for exploring the Wild Atlantic Way, the Ring of Beara and the Beara Way Walking and Cycling Routes.

Very affordable accommodation in one of West Cork's most sought after areas. Large, sheltered, south-west-facing, sun-trap patio overlooking the sea (just 60m away).
Ideally located between Eyeries and Ardgroom Villages, just a five minute (5km/2.5mile) drive from both. This is a lived-in home, available only for Summer lettings.
Furnishings are basic but everything is clean and in working order.
There are two bedrooms (one double bed, and one bunk-bed and single) and a large living space. There is one bathroom with a toilet, bath and showerhead. The kitchen has a fridge, dishwasher, electric cooker and oven and there is a microwave. There is big garden and elevated patio space. Guests have unrestricted access to everywhere except the shed. The host is not resident so you will have your privacy.
The host will meet and greet you on arrival and will be available on the mobile (cell) phone for any phone or text enquiries.

This is a wild, secluded, rural enviroment. People come here to relax, to experience unspoiled nature, to walk, swim, cycle, fish and explore.
There are ancient celtic archaeological remains and stone circles - Ireland's largest Ogham Stone (5.2m) is minutes away on foot.
You can sea fish off Ballycrovane Pier, or trout fish at Lough Fada or Glenbeg Lake.
The local town, Castletownbere, (ten minutes drive) is an ideal shopping hub. Bantry and Kenmare are perfect for day trips.
You will need your own transport!
There is a bus to Cork from Castletownbere most days and to Kenmare most of the summer but you would really be stuck without a car.
This building is not wheelchair accessible - anyone with mobility issues should note that there are three shallow steps up to the front door.
The house is not suitable for anyone with allergies (especially to cats or dogs). Two cats will remain here and I would appreciate it if you could feed them (food provided).
Please note, if you have toddlers, that here is a small ornamental pond in the garden.
You can smoke in the house or on the patio.

Ulli's cottage is a lovely cosy place.We felt right at home there,and she is a lovely friendly person.She met us at the house and did everything to make our stay a good one. The cottage is situated in a beautiful area with stunning views all around,its a great escape from a busy hectic life.It is also in a perfect location for travelling around the beara penninsula hiking, sight seeing,fishing and many other activities in the area. There was a nice stove which kept the house lovely and warm, and supplied plenty of hot water for hot showers after a long day of hiking. Ulli also left us plenty of firewood for the stove. I liked it so much that i am hoping to go back again next summer. :-)

NoreenSeptember 2016

We were late leaving home, and it was getting dark when we hit Béara. Ulli offered to come meet us to bring us to the house. but we were able to find it even in the semi-darkness. Recognised it from the site photo. Absolutely smashing location if like us you like a quiet area, stunning views, easy walks on quiet country roads just outside the door. Heather in bloom on rocky slopes just outside the windows.

YOU MUST BRING YOUR OWN TENT AND CAMPING GEAR TO USE THIS ACCOMMODATION.
Enjoy stunning ocean views from one of Ireland's most beautiful villages. This is tent camping with a difference!

YOU MUST BRING YOUR OWN TENT AND CAMPING EQUIPMENT TO USE THIS ACCOMMODATION!
Tent camp in the back garden of this wonderful Bay View home in picturesque Eyeries Village in the very Southwest of County Cork, Ireland - a wonderful stop along the Wild Atlantic Way.
Wake up to a stunning view of Coulagh Bay, the Kerry Mountains, and the Atlantic beyond. Tom, your host, is an American but has lived in Ireland for almost 30 years. Tent campers will enjoy the sound of gulls, access to hot shower / toilet facilities, and cups of tea and coffee. Feel free to use the back garden, sun deck, deck chairs and table and if the weather turns nasty, get in out of the rain and use the back 'View Room'. Enjoy the beauty of the place. It's like a little corner of Heaven itself!
*** There are miles and miles of stunning walks on the Beara Way *** Golf in Castletownbere is 4 miles south *** Wonderful swimming and fishing locally *** And the 'Craic' is mighty at Eyeries 2 local pubs. Enjoy a pint and relax with the wonderful locals of this lovely village***
Tent camping pitch, 2 outdoor decks and furnishings, indoor shower / toilet. IMPORTANT NOTE: Guests must have their own tent camping equipment and sleeping bags.
As much as they want, but little enough to give privacy. Most guests cherish that!

Located on the hidden gem of Ireland's Beara Peninsula, the village of Eyeries is one of the country's most picturesque villages. So much so that it is featured in most travel brochures. But you'll have to experience the place - the warmth of the people and the beauty of the sea and mountains - to discover it for yourself.
Public bus from Castletown (8 km distant from Eyeries) provides access to major towns near including Kenmare, Glengarriff, Cork, and onward to Dublin.
YOUR OWN TENT AND CAMPING EQUIPMENT ARE REQUIRED.

A wonderful place in a great spot ! We liked it and Tom was very friendly. Only there was a misunderstanding- but he helped us kindly.

SandraJuly 2015

Eyeries is wonderful. Tom as one of the best views around. The town is also quite nice. Tom gives you acces to one of is backroom so you can take shower and dry cloth after a long day in Ireland. Tom is a wonderful host passionate by where he lives he and is eager to know more about is guests.

JoëlAugust 2014

I really enjoyed my stay with Tom and Carmel. :) Their garden is just stunning; very tidy lawn with the most amazing view. They also have a lovely and cosy porch where campers can hang out in the evening. As I was camping by myself that night, I was very happy that Carmel kept me company with her wonderful stories and good advise. The bathroom is very clean and the shower very comfortable. In the morning, I even got a breakfast of toast, butter and jam and a nice cup of tea. I would rate my camping experience definitely a 10/10 and wish Tom and Carm all the best!

CarolineOctober 2016

I had a really good time by Carm and Tom! It was like you are in another world, it was pleasant, calm and both of them are nice and helpful people to stay and talk with. I would go there every time again. Thanks a lot! And the dinner was gorgeous;)

AnnaAugust 2015

We spent a human experience with Tom and Carmel in Eyeries, They become like a family always caring of us !! Thanks a lot for your warm welcome and your kindness. It´s the perfect place to have a peaceful break and to ressourcing ourself ! Eyeries is a lovely small city where we've really appreciated nature and beautiful landscapes !

CécileAugust 2014

We had a great time at the 'Tent camping' of Tom and Carm. They are very welcoming and friendly and we could choose our spot in the garden. The view is absolutely stunning and there are lots of possibilities for a hike in the area. If you want to camp, but still want to have the facilities like a shower, toilet and power so you can charge your phone, camera etc, etc; this is the place to be! Would recommend!

LindaMay 2016

We had a delightful stay in Ardgroom. The house was very comfortable and well equipped, and we enjoyed being in a village with a shop and an excellent pub. Our hostess, Anna-Marie, was most welcoming and it was a pleasure to stay in her house.

MarianJuly 2016

Clean, comfortable, ideal. We immediately felt at home. Well equipped kitchen, and thoughtful touches like ice-cubes ready in the freezer. Slept so well in the beds. Across the road from a decent grocery shop open 8am-9pm daily. Highly recommended.

HazelAugust 2016

Quiet, clean, comfortable home in a teeny tiny town. Host works in the local pub, which serves good food. Great for small kids as there is a swing set in the back yard. For those interested, there is a beautiful Stone Circle just outside the village. Ask for directions as the turn-off can be a little tricky to find.

Good selection of books in the house.
I supply logs for the first night.

Collette's cottage is truly enchanting, its an ideal place to relax and unmind with a charming interior. Collette herself is a warm, inviting and interesting woman. She made our welcome very warm and inviting. We would definitely stay again :)

GenaNovember 2016

We had a really fantastic stay. Colette is a lovely host and the cottage is a real credit to her. The area is quiet and rural and there are lots of places to walk and archaeological sites to see. I can't rate this property or host highly enough. Thank you so much Colette!

AfricMarch 2016

The cottage was just the right place to stay - very calm, peaceful and relaxing. Colette was a great host with lots of helpful information about the surrounding area. We would stay there anytime again for sure!

LauraMarch 2016

I need to start with the house itself, it is a work of art beautifully decorated and remarkably comfortable. If actually exceeds the description in its listing. The area was not overrun with tour buses and traffic It is a great place to escape and relax. The views out of the windows and from the property are beautiful. Colette is an amazing host, she provided great advice and information about the area. Colette will make you feel like you belong there during your stay and that makes her a truly great host.

PaulJune 2016

Colette's charming cottage overlooking Collorus Harbour is a prefect place to relax and unwind. We spent a week there and wish it could have been longer. There is so much to see and do around the Beara Peninsula, but even just hanging out at the cottage was a treat. Colette is a wonderful host, always available if needed, with plenty of tips about touring the area, and she very kindly shared some of the amazing produce from her garden. The cottage is great: full of character, with a very well equipped kitchen, spacious living area and a cozy bedroom, all kept perfectly clean and tidy. Would definitely go back for another holiday.

ConJuly 2016

This was our second stay at Colette's beautiful cottage. It's a wonderful getaway location, cosy and full of character. The views across Kenmare Bay to Macgillycuddy's Reeks are stunning. Colette is the perfect Airbnb host, on hand if needed and but never intrusive.

TimNovember 2016

We had an unforgetable week at Colette's cottage. Colette is a very friendly superhost. She welcomed us with fresh flowers, coffee and home made cake. Provided us with all kinds of information about Beara peninsula. The cottage is very warm decorated, very well equipped and above all has unbelievable idyllic views over Kenmare bay and the mountains. During our stay, Colette gave us also fresh eggs and vegatables. She is such a warm person. We really fell in love with Hilltop cottage, her owner and the surroundings. We are looking forward to our next visit!

CynthiaOctober 2016

Colette, her cottage and the surroundings are all absolutely wonderful! Colette welcomed us with a cup of tea, some home grown herbs and a jar of home made jam and gave us a detailed rundown of everything local and she left no stone unturned. Each of her recommendations were superb! Her cottage is just beautiful and it felt like home straight away. The open fire, the views, dogs, chickens and sound of the local sheep all added to the experience and we cannot wait to come back! Colette was the most amazing host and always on hand if we needed her, but rarely seen throughout the day so you really do get the feeling of being alone in your own, far away place. Thank you Colette!

A cool, comfy 4 double bedroomed house on the steps of The Wild Atlantic Way in the colourful village of Ardgroom.

Drewanna is a new build with 4 double bedrooms....all ensuite....
Guests have access to whole house to enjoy. The house is steps from The Wild Atlantic Way.
I live in the village, 90 seconds from the house. Guests can have as much or as little interaction as they see fit. I am there if I am needed.

Ardgroom is a bright, colourful village with a supermarket/café at one end and our family run pub at the other end. The people of the village are extremely friendly and enjoy seeing visitors stay in the Village. There are beautiful walks....Glenbeg Lake, Pallas Pier, Ardgroom Stone Circle etc
A car is the most convenient way to get around. The nearest town, Castletownbere, is 9 miles away and Kenmare is 22 miles away so its best to have a car.

Beautiful home! We absolutely loved our stay, the home was immaculate and Anna-Marie could not have been more helpful. Village Inn for food was wonderful also. All around great visit and will definitely stay again if we are back!

KateJune 2016

Drewanna was a wonderful base to explore Beara from. Anne Marie was a fabulous host - accessible whenever we needed her. The house is lovely, spacious, and immaculate. In fact the pictures do not do it justice - it was far larger and more modern than we expected. We would not hesitate to recommend Drewanna and would encourage visitors to also visit the pub in Ardgroom, also run by the host.

CraigJune 2016

We loved our stay! The house is so spacious and lovely. Everything is clean and the kitchen is well equiped. Would absolutely recommend to stay there!

Charlotte March 2016

The house is stunning, big and well equipped, the owner is nice and affable. We had a great time.

SilviaJanuary 2016

We had a fantastic stay here.It is a quiet quaint village with a well stocked store and the pub has great food try the tomato soup.The house is spacious and comfortable with everything you need and more and Anna-Marie is a wonderful host gladly sharing her knowledge of the area.An absolute must is to stay for 3 days or more as you need this time to explore the area properly.

This is a comfortable 5 bedroom house with some of the bedrooms ensuite..the house is within a 90sec walk of the colourful village of Ardgroom on the Wild Atlantic Way in the Beara Peninsula within easy access of Kenmare (22 miles) and Castletownbere

I think what makes the house unique is the amount of space you can have to yourself whilst still being with a big group of people
Walking, Climbing, fishing and swimming in Glenbeg lake, 1 mile walk from the house. The Wild Atlantic Way runs in front of the house so perfect for exploring the Ring of Beara.
You can as much or as little interaction as you want. I live 90 seconds away in the family pub, so I can be found at all times. I usually visit on the first night for a few minutes to answer/help with any information/questions that might arise.

The house is 90 secs outside the picturesque village of Ardgroom, with its brightly coloured painted houses. The people of the village are very friendly and tend to welcome people that they see around the village.
In the summer we have a public bus that passes outside the house door twice a day from Kenmare to Castletownbere and visa versa. 6 days a week (except Thursday) there is a bus from the local shop to cork city return. Goes to the city at 7.30am and returns to the village at 8.30pm each night
There is plenty of parking and space for kids and dogs to play around but the main road is outside the gate so a certain level of "minding" is required....

A beautiful home in a wonderful little village. 10 of us came down here to celebrate New Year's and had an absolute blast, the house is very accommodating for large crowds. Anna-Marie was a lovely host, taking the time to make sure we had settled into the house and telling us about the surrounding area. We're already talking about coming back!

EoinJanuary 2016

Anna-Marie's is a very relaxed, spacious house in a great location. Perfect for seeing all of the magical Beara Peninsula. On the edge of the village it's a short walk to the shop and Anna Marie's lovely family pub/ restaurant. We really appreciated the welcome given to our little dog. A great house for a group of people.

OrlaAugust 2016

Amazing house, lovely surroundings and great hospitality! Thanks :)

MatteoJanuary 2015

Anne-Marie was an excellent host. She met us with the keys and popped over to ensure we had settled in okay. She was very welcoming and helpful. Ardgroom is a beautiful, friendly town with nearby lakes and a stone circle. This makes for nice after dinner walks. The house is clean, cozy and the beds are comfortable, so staying in might also be an option for rainy days. I hope we all visit Chris' Cottage again.

CiaraJune 2016

Anna-Marie was an amazing host! The house had everything that we could have wanted for a relaxing weekend away! Beara is a fab part of the world and is well worth a visit! Would definitely stay here again next time we go to west cork!

TraceyJune 2016

We were only able to stay one night at Anna's house but we had a great time. Sadly, we were unable to meet her due to some unfortunate events but she did everything in her power to make us feel at home. The pictures of her house don't give it justice by the way; it's quite amazing. This night was a meaningful night for us and we were in need for several pints. When we got to the pub and it was closed, we were very disappointed. After Anna made a call though, we were back to sitting at the bar having some tasty beers. Highly recommended.

K.C.April 2016

The house was very welcoming, bright as big, just as the pictures. Anna Marie was very good, and made sure we found everything ok.The village and area are beautiful, well worth the trip to Beara. Thanks a lot for everything Anna-Marie.

LauraNovember 2014

What a fabulous time we had! 7 walkers exploring the heavenly Beara peninsula. The house was spacious, well equipped and very comfortable. Anna-Marie was the best host! She made sure we were comfortable, greeted us with charming warmth and knew a perfect balance between intrusion and hospitality. I highly recommend this place. Couldn't be better. Thank you Anna-Marie xx

We had a great time - and some unexpected sunshine! Wishing the next guests the same!

AntoinetteJune 2016

John and Maree and Bella were wonderful hosts. Everything was ready upon our arrival. Everything was clean, fresh and ready for use. We were never bothered, but they were always ready to help. They were great sources of information on the area and places to go and to eat. Wonderful. Location is Ireland at its best.

Fr JoachimJune 2016

John and Maree made us feel very welcome as did their dog Bella.The house is perfect for two people who want to roam the surrounding countryside and the many wonderful walks in the Beara area.

You would need a car to get around or you can rent bikes locally in Pedals and Boots.
Electricity is charged at current rate per unit and is payable on departure.

We had a wonderful experience at Mag and Eugene's idyllic cottage. Nestled into the hillside it has amazing views of mountains and sea. The cottage itself was gorgeous and cosy and was equipped with everything we needed, right down to fuel for the fire. There was loads to see and do in the area. And it was lovely to come home to a warm and welcoming house each evening to watch the sun go down from the comfort of the couch. Mag was a perfect host who was on hand with any question we had. We loved our holiday here and would love to come back again and again. Thank you Mag!

MikeNovember 2016

This was the absolute nicest Airbnb I've ever stayed in. Mag and Gene were so sweet and accommodating (even when a communication glitch left Mag wondering when I would arrive). The cottage is super charming and the views are gorgeous -- seriously, I've never seen a better view out of a bathroom window. Or the back door. Or the bedrooms. Lauraugh is a tiny place, close to everything you might want to see on the Ring of Kerry, and Mag gave us a great recommendation for dinner. Loved the whole experience -- thanks, guys!

JulieJuly 2016

Our stay at Mags place was perfect; it was our favourite air bnb of our trip. The cottage was very clean and super cosy. Mag was friendly and gave us some ideas on what to do near Lauragh. We would go back without hesitating and wish we would have stayed for longer!

JohannieOctober 2016

My partner and I had a wonderful, peaceful time in mag's cottage. Mag and Eugene couldn't have been more helpful, from my initial booking to the duration of our stay!! We will definitely return for more peace and quiet in the beautiful lauragh countryside

DebbieApril 2016

We had such a lovely stay at Lauragh, the cottage was well-equipped and cosy with the fire lit. Our children loved exploring the surrounding area and were thrilled to see new lambs and even deer. Thanks so much to Mag & her husband for making us welcome.

AnneApril 2016

The location of this cottage is amazing - high on a hill side with amazing views. Inside it is extremely cosy and tasteful, with open fire, warm comfy beds and a well-appointed kitchen, plus patio for sitting outside. Lots of things to do locally - one could happily settle here for some time!

IsobelOctober 2016

An amazing getaway. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer! The road to get there felt endless at times, but it was well worth it. Mag was also an outstanding host, very attentive and friendly. We look forward to coming back some day soon!

AlexandraNovember 2016

Myself, partner and 8 year old stayed in Mag and Eugene's cottage for a night. The cottage itself is what you would expect from a traditional Irish stone cottage, small and fairly basic- perfect for us. It's cosy and easy to heat. The views are stunning and you might wake up to a herd of sheep on the deck (which has a small bbq). The location is good, really peaceful for that 'middle of nowhere '-feeling, but there is a shop open late about 5mi down the road. Mag and Eugene are very nice and accommodating. All in all a lovely little getaway in one of my favourite places in the world.

This snug, grass-roofed cabin offers panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. Enjoy a warm Irish welcome, mountain walks on the Beara Way or snorkling on nearby reefs. Sample local seafood or stoke up the wood-burning stove and savour the tranquility!

This remote and peaceful location offers an opportunity to unwind, enjoy an unspoiled and breath-takingly beautiful environment and recharge your batteries! Ten minutes walk will take you to a local swimming spot, fishing point, pre-Christian archaeological remains, picturesque ruins or cliff views. You may see seals, dolphins, basking sharks, diving gannets or, if you are lucky, the local otters. It is an ideal place to kick back and relax. In bad weather you can just sway in the hammock seat in front of the fire, listen to music and daydream...
We are on the Wild Atlantic Way, the Beara Way Waking Route, the Ring of Beara, the Beara Cycling Route and near some designated Shore Fishing Points. There are Art Galleries, a Sculpture Garden and a Buddhist Retreat Centre within a 30 minute drive.
We can lend you snorkel gear, hiking maps of the area, help you to take the plunge at the nearby swimming spot, recommend nearby loop walks and lend you books, music, hats and scarves! There is wifi internet access (which can be intermittent - see Other Things to Note below), and we can facilitate you with landline access by pre-arrangement.
Thanks to a neat system of red flags and green flags both the nearby hosts and the guests can indicate how much interaction they are open to at any given time! This allows for guests and hosts to get to know one another and for the hosts to share their wealth of local knowledge and suggestions about things to see and do, while also allowing both parties to respect each others peace and privacy. It's a balancing act appreciated by both sides!
Usually, we are happy to have guests join us when we are walking the dog, swimming, fishing, beach-combing or collecting driftwood for the stove. It's a great way to get to know the area and the locals.
I am an experienced CELTA teacher of English as a foreign language, so can offer English lessons tailored to your needs for an additional fee.

The wild and rugged landscape, spectacular, star-studded night sky and beautiful sunsets need to be seen to be believed. West Cork is truly a place apart. You can sample local delicacies such as Mileens cheese, water buffalo burgers, free-range eggs and pork sausages and the nearby town, Castletownbere, is Ireland's biggest white-fishing port. There are regular music and set-dancing sessions at local pubs and there are art galleries and even a sculpture garden to visit. There is a ferry to Bere Island and Dursey Island, at the tip of the Beara Peninsula boasts Ireland's only Cable Car. But sometimes mooching around and exploring the teeming wildlife on the shoreline and in the rockpools is enough to keep you going. Your hosts can tell you more and you can look at our visitor's book for ideas on things to see and do.
Beara is served by Bus Eireann bus routes from Kenmare (in Kerry) and Cork/Bantry. However, it is quite difficult to get around the peninsula without transport of your own. We are about 5 miles/8km from the nearest shop/pub/church/post office and 10 miles/16km from the bus service. We are happy to give you suggestions on the best way to get here and the local (Harrington's) private mini-bus service (027) 74002 will take you to the door.
If you don't have transport we are happy to offer you a lift if we are going anywhere. Bicycles can be hired from Castletownbere (BikeNBeara).
1) 'Arrival/Survival Supplies' (Tea, coffee, sugar, condiments) are provided to guests on arrival to keep them going until they can shop for supplies. (NB The closest local shop is 9km away and there is no local transport"!)
2) Guest Pets are welcome, but please see also under House Rules below)
3) WiFi is available. However, it comes from a mast transmitter on a mountain across the bay. Occasionally, in bad weather, (high winds or thick fog) internet access can be intermittent. Basically, if you really need guaranteed constant connectivity, the Cabin is not for you! (On the other hand, it's a good chance to 'go dark' and really enjoy being present in this wonderful place!) Up to each guest to decide.
4) There is a double bed (standard bed with mattress). If you don't wish to share a bed, or if there are three of you, you should note that the other bed is a small double sofa bed, (but pretty comfortable) which is folded out in the living space at night. We have another child-sized bed and a travel cot which can be erected in the bedroom beside the double bed if necessary so that a child/baby can be put to sleep while the parents stay up.
5) Although the location itself is remote and our nearest neighbours are over 1km away, you should be aware that we (your hosts) live just behind the cabin. (Hence the need for our red flag/green flag system!)
However, you have part of the garden (a viewing platform with a bench/picnic table) for your exclusive use, and all the cabin windows face the sea to the west and south, not towards the house. (Look at the aerial picture - the cabin is towards the sea on the right). So it feels quite private.
6) Lessons in English (as a foreign language) are available by arrangement for a reasonable fee. Introduction to Irish/Gaelic may also be available.
7) Hikers on the Beara Way Walking Route please note, we may sometimes be able to provide a drop-off, pick-up service by arrangement for petrol costs .
8) This is Ireland - (in)famous for having four seasons in every day. The weather is very changeable and it is wise to bring good hiking boots, waterproof clothing, and a hat and scarf, even in summer. That said, hikers and bikers can rest assured that there are clothes-drying facilities in the cabin and there access to a washing machine on a donation basis. We also have drier for damp articles. (You can borrow from our selection of visitor wellies if things get really muddy!)
9) Although the local swimming spot is very popular and (mostly) safe this is the Atlantic Ocean - it can be treacherous. Always ask locals for advice before you swim. There can be strong currents, underwater rocks or an undertow. Freak waves after storms are not uncommon. We are happy to take you swimming and give you tips on how to stay safe when near the shore.
10) This is a wooden building with a grass roof and we live in the wilds of the countryside - so be prepared for some spiders and other small insects to enter the Cabin at some stage during your stay. (It's unavoidable - like traffic noise in a city!) We feel it's preferable to have a few spiders' webs than the many insects they remove! They do not bite and we have no poisonous insects (or snakes of any kind) in Ireland.

Anne was very welcoming, accommodating and deliciously entertaining. The cabin is exquisite - Woodburning stove, beautiful landscape outside and wonderfully quiet.... I took a hike in the morning along the ridge and photographed the view - breathtaking! There is also an ancient graveyard up the road worth visiting. I recommend bringing boots to hike in because there is long wet grass all around - and you might regret it if you don't wander around a bit. Great host, amazing place, would love to come back!

LoaJune 2015

We spent a comfortable, warm, relaxed week at the Creativity cabin. All that we needed in a base for exploring this beautiful part of Ireland, was there, and if it wasn't, we only needed to ask our congenial hosts. Anne and Stephen made the holiday for us, by immediately becoming friends and guides. We feel privileged to have been made so welcome in sharing a part of their home. The area around the cabin was being enhanced at the time of our visit. That said, the surrounding area, a part of the Wild Atlantic Way, was like having the most beautiful garden at our disposal. Add to that, the wealth of knowledge freely given made our stay one to remember for a long time. We would not hesitate in recommending this cosy cabin to anyone.

CaroleMay 2016

Thanks Anne for the time in your cabin... It's a lovely place to stay, Anne and her family are really wonderfull. They welcomed us wtih smile, ans made our trip easy. The place is really close to the sea, the landscape is amazing.

Hugues-ThierryJuly 2015

Anne & Stephen were very welcoming and made me feel at home. The cabin exceeded my expectations. It was spacious and indeed very cosy with the wood-burning stove. I went for quiet time so I could do some writing and it was ideal for this with lots of light and a big desk. There are lots of wonderful walks along the shoreline directly from the cabin. The cabin was very well designed and had everything I needed. I will definitely be back!

ClaireJune 2015

We were looking for a unique and quiet stay at a beautiful location and received exactly that. Breathtaking panoramic views, wonderful accommodations and a friendly and helpful host. Would highly recommend and will likely be back next time we are in the Beara peninsula.

RyanJuly 2015

Dear Folks, all is as described both in reviews and description. It is truly lovely as are Anne and co. If you like large doses of natural energy, do treat yourself. HP ps @adam, pool next time : )...

PeterNovember 2015

We had a nice time in the "creative cabin" and the welcome with tea and cake was very warm. Anne is a very caring host and communicative person and gave us a lot of useful information. The location is calm amd only accessible via a gravel road (which is no problem even for a car without large ground clearance if you drive slowly) and although Annes house is quite near the cabin you can relax and enjoy the atmosphere, have a bath in the near ocean or explore the surrounding. This is certainly a good tip which I can recommend for a stay.

PeterAugust 2016

We loved Anne and Stephen's cosy cabin. It is so peaceful, warm and welcoming as are Anne and Stephen. We arrived late on Sunday and Stephen was kind enough to come and meet us in the local village, guide us to the cabin and had the stove blazing for us. We had our dog with us and he had so much fun with Checkers and Minnie, Annes dogs. This is a perfect get away for a quiet escape and total relaxation. The cabin is very well equipped, with everything from torches to wooly hats. The surrounding areas are beautiful and our only regret was that we could not stay longer. I would have no hesitation in recommending The cabin and its hosts.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Fran's place. It is very spacious and very well equipped. The views are incredible! I would strongly recommend you stay here.

PaulMarch 2015

Fran was wonderful host and we really enjoyed our stay. It is a lovely clean well built house with a fabulous view. Fran was really helpful, she even drove us to our bus stop in town and made sure we got to the right bus stop location. The settings were very beautiful and relaxing.

ShimonJuly 2016

Cappa House was fantastic--incredible location with gorgeous views of the sea and the mountains, just a few minutes from town, with easy access to local sightseeing outdoor activities. Fran was a fabulous host, kindly accommodating us with a last-minute booking. We have recommended her place to our friends and look forward to visiting again in the future!

JeffreyOctober 2015

We had the most fantastic stay at Cappa House. The location was absolutely beautiful! The house its self was huge, 3 en suits, lovely log burner and the best stocked kitchen I've ever seen in a self catered house! Would 100% recommend and will certainly be back to visit again! Thank you!

CharlotteOctober 2015

We stayed in Cappa House for 2 nights over the June Bank Holiday weekend. Fran was extremely helpful and obliging in every way. We changed our arrival time 3 times and that was no problem. There were 3 of us - My husband, the dog and I. We had so much space in the 3-bed-roomed house it was like having a guesthouse to ourselves. We were only sorry we hadn't brought a few friends! One rainy day offered us the chance to watch a couple of the many DVDs which are stacked in the house. The house is stocked better than our own for cooking, cleaning and eating. Wifi speed was great and the showers were gorgeous. I can't find fault with the house or the service from Fran. The house was perfect for the dog too as he could roam around the garden to his heart content. The view from the house isn't justified in the photos. It is spectacular and the charming town of Eyeries is a ten minute stroll through the fields. Walks in the area are hard to beat. Such a peaceful and beautiful environment was made all the better with all the comforts of a very modern and pretty farmhouse. Fran even made sure to post our phone chargers back to us which we foolishly left plugged in to the sockets! Thanks Fran. We will be back.

jennieJune 2014

Fran was very welcoming and even gave us a bottle of sparkling wine as the trip was a mini honeymoon for us.. the house was spacious and well equipped, close to Eyries where we had a lovely meal on the first night; and the perfect location for discovering Allihies and Dursey Island. Thanks Fran!

JeanSeptember 2014

Fran's house is fab! Couldn't get over the space! Three large double rooms all en suite and a large bathroom downstairs. Separate TV room where the kids played while we sat by the lovely large stove in the adjoining room. The view is amazing!!!! There was plenty of wood, coal, firelighters for the three nights we were there. Will definitely be back!

Our house is a unique house overlooking Coulagh Bay, with stunning views to the sea. The garden is a lovely relaxing place as well as a great hide and seek venue, not on the road, but an easy 10 minute walk to the village, with a well stocked small supermarket, petrol, postoffice, bistro, tea room in season, 2 pubs. It is a cosy traditional house which is well equipped to accommodate families and young children. The beds are all very comfortable, some with views to the sea. Everyone loves it.

We loved our short stay at Shore Cottage. The location is incredible, literally on the edge of the ocean. The house is fab and really quirky - we loved finding new things about it each day. Very well equipped and the lovely welcome bread from Anita was great. The garden was great for the kids and they loved exploring... We loved touring the area and had a wonderful meal in Eyeries.

RuthAugust 2016

A stay with a difference. Lots of character and presence in the cottage and magnificent views of the haunting landscape.

MargueriteAugust 2016

we had a wonderful few days in Shore Cottage. The house was perfect and full of charm and with everything we needed . Great location next to the beach and the perfect house for Ireland's changeable weather. I would highly recommend staying at Shore Cottage. Bonnie was clear and prompt with communication and everything went smoothly .

ClaireAugust 2016

Lovely cottage, great location, magnificent views. Our three young kids loved the garden and the horses that lived nearby! Eyeries is very close and has a nice restaurant and a little shop. For groceries it is better to drive to Castletown (10 minute drive).

RobertAugust 2016

We LOVED Shore Cottage. The location is magical and the house is comfortable, quirky and has the feel of a real home. There were apples and grapes ready to eat in the garden and ponies grazing in the next field especially enjoyed the apples. You can hike along the shoreline from the bottom of the garden. I hope to be back...

CiaraSeptember 2016

We greatly enjoyed our stay and felt very much at home. Although we did not see the hosts, all arrangements for our arrival were extremely well organised, and they had taken care of all the details. Anita came to see us the night before we departed, and we could have contacted her for any eventuality, so we felt at ease. The house is beautiful, both its exterior and interior. The views are stunning, and there is enough to do in the house even in bad weather. The house is very child friendly, but without loosing its cottage-charm. We enjoyed very much being inside, and even more walking along the beach!

VeronicaOctober 2016

An absolutely stunning location and a beautiful beautiful house and garden, we loved everything about this unique place, the garden is fantastic for kids and the beach with brilliant rock pools just a short walk away. Village is great too - pretty houses and great playground for the kids.
